This is my lead for my 3 vs. 3 Wi-Fi team. Spikes is a great set up move. If I decide not to set up, I can baton pass a substitute to either scrafty or reuniclus. If I have enough spikes or just want to I can (hopefully) kamikaze and take out the opponent with final gambit. Focus sash get more turns to spike. Sticky hold keeps those meanies from stealin’ mah Focus Sash. The nature boosts speed, it doesn’t really matter which one I pick. The Ev’s help me get my attacks in faster and get better final gambits. I know I have a problem with taunt but that isn’t very popular on Wi-Fi. Waddaya think? I would appreciate it if I got a rate. Thanks!

New Bible Verse of the Week: Zephaniah 2:3
Seek the Lord, all you humble of the earth who have carried out His ordinances; seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be hidden in the day of the Lord’s anger.

From my experience spikes isn't that good in 3v3 because there is less switching. 3v3 games also are much more fast pace and walls/support pokemon don't function that well because you meed all the offense you can get. For this reason I wouldn't use a suicide move on him, maybe a sweeper/baton passer set with bug buzz, gigadrain, agility and baton pass so you can set up on the first turn and endure a hit with your sash then sweep away untill you face something that walls you and the them BP away, metagross would be a good BP recipient because then he can carry on where accelgor left of with no need to set up. Plus accelgor can come in later and revenge kill someone.

Edit: since you are already isung scrafty and reuniclus then ignore what I said about metagross, either of those two will benefit from agility also.

*Volbeat set. Prankster gets him up a Substitute, on which he can Tail Glow and Baton Pass onto something more powerful. Bug Buzz stops him from being Taunted by Whimsicott or Thundurus/ Tornadus.*

Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.

even though I am having some technical difficulties (< lol its a pun!) with whimsicott I should get started on another team member

Haxorus @ choice band
Adamant
Mold Breaker
252 atk/ 112 spd/146 hp
Dragon claw
Night slash
Rock slide
Aerial ace/poison jab/ bulldoze
another choice set (Is it good to run 2 or more choice sets in a single team?) Adamant to make use of atk. Mold breaker because although rivalry is tempting its too risky.

Atk evs are obvious 112 speed to out run the ice cream thingy ( why should a giant dragon be afraid of ice cream?....) 146 hp to cover its defenses.

Dragon claw is for STAB night slash for musharna and cofagrigus. Rock slide so it can attack both opponents at the same time (with a chance of flinching!). Aerial ace can be used for its accuracy but I think there is an accuracy clause at the vgc so that would make it useless. poison jab to attempt to poison the foe seems too risky though and is completely blocked by ferrothorn. Buldoze to slowdown opponents who might outspeed me but this also seems risky because this is for a double battle I might hurt and slow down my teammate and I can't think of any levitating or flying pokemon that I could use on my team

This set allows me to boost my stats and use different moves. Jolly to give me a speed boost that lets me DD faster.I would use the same Ev spread as the choice but I feel it may need more HP for life orb.

Dragon dance to boost its attack. Protect because I hear the VGCs a serious and a (non choice) set without protect is threatened. Dragon claw for STAB. Rock slide to attack both but I'm reluctant to use earthquake and bulldoze for the same reason as stated above.

SubSitrus set. Very easy to start setting up and sweep. Substitute, then Dragon Dance behind the sub. Even when the Sub breaks, the HP spread will activate Sitrus Berry, getting you back up to 3/4th health. Leaf Blade is illegal with Dragon Dance, so Bullet Seed is here instead. It's stronger than Razor Leaf on the second hit and is handy for SubBreaking. Fly is here as it's strongest Flying STAB and can come in handy in stalling PP.

The best strat here is to SubStall and use Dragon Dance when the opponent misses. Stuff like Fire Blast, Stone Edge, Confusion from Outrage, give Tropius an extra turn with his Sub to set up.

The legalities of getting Bullet Seed onto a Tropius are a little complicated. First, breed a Tropius (male) with Dragon Dance in Heart Gold or Soul Silver, which requires Chain Breeding. Then teach that Tropius Bullet Seed, then migrate to Black or White, then breed that Tropius with a female DW Tropius. The child should have Dragon Dance and Bullet Seed.

I love using this thing. Soak to change an opponents type, or set up Rain Dance. The Eject Button is suppose to switch Lumineon out when she gets hit after using either move, in which case, you then send in your Swift Swim sweeper or an Electric or Grass type to KO the opponent who is now a Water Type. U Turn to switch in case they didn't attack and/or you want to preserve the Eject Button, and Waterfall for STAB. Under Rain, it can perform as an emergency clean up sweeper.

Sp.Def points help Lumineon survive almost every Special Attack and activate Eject Button. It might seem like a waste, but a pokemon is still useful if it's alive.

i know this isn't on topic but need to make sure this is right,i have a ditto with 31 attack IVs and a axew with 31 speed IVs,if i give the ditto a power bracer and the axew a power lens will the baby have 31 speed and 31 attack IVs?

Run a Choice Band set. It's pretty much the only way to play Haxorus, since NOTHING that can kill Haxorus can switch in and anything that is bulky enough to kill Haxorus is too slow and gets 2HKOed after switching in. Outrage, Earthquake, Filler, Filler. Shadow Claw and Brick Break are the best in the last two slots, I think.

Adamant is better.

@Scolipede guy, Scolipede is more threatening and walls stuff so Scolipede.

You're right about U Turn, but even then, you can switch in a Sap Sipper or a Motor Drive/Lightning Rod/Volt Absorb before Lumineon takes the hit, bring in a pokemon, and activate the ability, all in one turn under Rain, potentially. And also, Basculin doesn't have the Sp.Def to survive hits like Lumineon can. Not many other pokemon can do what Lumineon can here.

Works as an incredible Anti-Lead. Taunt shuts down slower leads. Counter is the beautiful thing about this set. With Inner Focus, and Sneasels low defenses, he can Counter Fake Outs dealing massive damage to leads if not KO them. Ice Shard is there in case they are also hanging on to Focus Sashes. Also maims Dragons late game if he's still alive. Low Kick is the move of choice, dealing HEAVY damage to stuff that switch in like Heatran, Hydreigon, Empoleon (seldom seen but I'm running out of examples), stuff like that.

I've had people raegquit against this guy so many times, it's not funny, but it is anyway. He just ruins stuff, so hilariously.

I'd use that. Low Sweep kills Scarfed anything slower tham Weavile, then you can finish them. Beat Up because you outspeed Gengar and can KO him with it, not to mention stuff like Azelf as well. Taunt for Slower leads, Ice Shar for anything with a Sash. Alternatively Counter over Low Sweep kills stuff like Tyranitar and anything that uses Physical moves.

what would be a good move set for empoleon, and would it be better off using torrent or it's dream world ability, defiant. i don't want him to be a defensive Pokemon. either a physical attacker or a special attacker.

ok the first round use Protect,then the second round the flame orb will burn swellow making guts and Facade power up
my swellow (if i did the math right)will have around 403 attack as well as its 383 speed(yes my swellow has 31 IVs in attack and speed)and with Facade power doubled and with STAB it should have 210 power(if i did the math right).
and whirlwind is to get rid of steel,rock and ghosts types.
Might replace Aerial ace,if you think i should suggest something

why Hasty Nature?there is no reason to lower his defense,a better nature would be jolly
